Hair in the Blood

An excerpt from Barbers of Belmont at soundportraits.org
URI: My two son: barber. My two son-in-law: barber. My grandson, big guy, strong: working barber. Three brother: barber. Three sister: two is barber. My father: barber.
SAL: My father's father was a barber. He was supposed to have been a champion barber in Sicily . I didn't want to be a barber. My father pushed me into it. He took me out of high school. But I didn't want my sons to do that. It ends with me.
There's no black sheep stylist in Uri's family, well not that he's admitting to anyway. Reminds me of McSweeney's Interviews with barbers
